WRT 1Pe 2:21-24, Thank You for posting the Scriptural testimony which reasserts the Universal Atonement. Obviously not the flesh which was the sacrifice. It had been scarred. But the spirit indwelling the flesh identified with self and the soul, which remained perfect.

One scripture does not a doctrine make. Obviously, the flesh WAS the sacrifice. Are you that blind that you cannot see? What part of "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree" is unclear to you?

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Heb 9:22)

Do you want to explain to all of us here how a Spirit can shed blood?

Denial of the literal Physical Atonement. A denial of orthodox Christian belief of centuries, clearly and forcefully shown in scripture. This is the legacy of Witness Lee and his cult. You are dangerously close to heresy, if you haven't already crossed that line.

Atonement is conditional, not universal.

Romans 10:9-10

9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
